Hi, I’m submitting a DTV workation application from Hanoi very soon and would like to hear some opinions on how I should best present my proof of ending balances of over THB 500,000.

Here are my possibilities, if you were in my shoes which one of these 3 options would you select and why:

1. Wise account that shows over THB 500,000 saved up for 3 months or more.

2. New Zealand bank account that also shows over THB 500,000 saved up, but has only had that amount in there for 3 weeks. Before that it had almost nothing.

3. Submit statements for both accounts in application. I realize submitting 2 accounts can be confusing and count against you, but surely it's not an issue if both account have over 500,000?

It’s a bit of a headache because Wise isn’t a proper bank, but the statement from the actual bank is under 3 months. And yes, I’ve looked up old posts in this group beforehand and it has helped a lot. But I’m keen to hear fresh takes, especially from those who’ve successfully applied from Hanoi. Thanks!

Need a help 🙏🏿

What is the website address for TM30?

I am an owner of condo and trouble doing it.

Maybe the web add is out of date.

TIA

I applied for a DTV visa in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, on September 18th. On September 19th, I received a request for additional documents. I had only submitted three pay slips. They asked for pay slips for the last six months and to highlight the corresponding payments on the bank statement for the last few months. I prepared everything and submitted it on September 19th.

On September 25th, the status changed from "Pending document analysis" to "Pending approval."

But due to a problem and confusion over the dates, I applied for a Vietnam visa until September 25th instead of October 15th. So, I had to urgently return to Thailand on September 25th.

I returned to Thailand with a 60-day tourist visa exemption. And on September 29th, I received a refusal, without giving any reason.

I submitted all the necessary documents: six months' salary, a bank statement for the last six months with a balance over 500,000 baht, and certified by the bank. A letter from my employer explaining and mentioning my agreement to work remotely, also stating that we do not work for Thai clients, as well as a sample of the last job I did. The insurance certificate valid for Thailand, and the form. TM30.

I don't see what happened. Could it be because I returned to Thailand before the process was complete?

I just got approved within 48 hours of applying. The whole process took about 20 minutes. Open to questions if you have any.

Can the TrueMoney app be topped up with cash and where? Can I use it to pay by scanning a QR code (Prompt Pay)? So far I have only used it to pay at 7-Eleven by the shop scanning my app's QR code.

Hello,

I am a German citizen but I don't have a German residency or any other permanent address.

I am a perpetual traveller.

What can I do in this case to get the DTV as it requires the proof of a location/address?

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through a similar situation and managed to get the DTV approved without having an official residence.

Thanks a lot!

Hello. Can i buy or pay anything on my credit card. What is the limit? On foreign Credit card?

I've been approved for a DTV and already have yearly travel insurance but which has minimal cover and never been claimed on etc.

What's the best option here for spending the year in Thailand as a very healthy UK male in his 50's?

Thanks in advance.

Had my Bank of Bangkok bank account

Closed today . They are closing all accounts that don’t have a long term visa including DTV visas .

My advice is sort your online bank accounts before you come ( Wise , Revolut ) etc
